Your Safety Matters - Facts About the Medication Ketek
Weitz and Luxenberg is no longer accepting Ketek cases.
There is growing evidence that Ketek is unusually toxic, according to a recent review by FDA safety officials. Twelve adult patients in the United States have suffered liver failure, including four who died; 23 others suffered serious liver injury.
The safety officials wrote in their review that the agency should consider forcing Sanofi-Aventis to withdraw Ketek from the market, severely restrict its uses, even in adults, or add a prominent warning to its label about potentially fatal side effects.
More than five million prescriptions for Ketek have been written in the United States since its approval two years ago.
Other antibiotics cause liver failure, but Ketek seems to do so almost four times as often, the safety officials concluded.
Ketek can also cause blurred vision and loss of consciousness, problems that are unique to it.
